Tableteer Caricature artist


Why would anyone ever want to do art on a paper any more. Using a tablet pc is more flexible, more practical and opens up all kinds of possiblities. I imagine Emil the caricaturist can now keep a copy of every caricature he does, just in case the "victim" becomes famous.
See the photo story here. It's titled "A tablet PC replaces the sketchbook for one caricature artist in London's Leicester Square " and the author Steve Ranger , the business editor at Silicon.com is the "victim".

The tension builds as the caricature starts to take shape, much to the amusement of the onlooking crowd of tourists...



...especially as the victim doesn't know how the picture is developing - or which features the artist has picked on.


" Emil in action, with some of his other work in the background. "


" London's Leicester Square with its bars and cinemas is a popular destination for tourists, and many have their portraits and caricatures drawn by the resident artists. "
